I am the author of 23 published books in a number of genres that incorporate my love of animals and belief in miracles. I live and garden on a small farm in the Pacific Northwest with a menagerie of animals who constantly teach me some of life's most valuable lessons. I write about people who find courage and integrity in the darkest times of their lives, who rescue stray dogs and kittens, who find a person they would willingly give their lives for, and who make their little corners of the world a better place. People have remarked my stories "aren't what they expected." With rose-colored glasses firmly in place, I take that as a compliment. I invite you to share a piece of my world in the pages of a book, and hope you find some surprises, some tears, some laughter, and happy endings.
